Does anyone here suffer from reoccurring nightmares? I sure do. I was in a really bad car accident about 4 1/2 years ago. I was in the backseat when my friend was going 100km/h in a 50 zone, he swerved into oncoming traffic and we hit another car head on. I remember blacking out right before we hit and then I woke up a few minutes later still in the backseat. This is where my reoccurring nightmares starts everytime. Waking up, broken glass everywhere, coughing up blood, the horn was going off the whole time. Man that horn scares me everytime. I'm alone looking around for my friends in the front but they're nowhere to be seen. I hear someone saying, don't move! Help is coming! Now I can hear the sirens coming towards me. I just close my eyes, start trembling and wait...
Then I usually wake up, horrified and jumpy for the next day. I had this nightmare again lastnight, first one in over a month which is unusual since I usually have it once or twice a week. After seeing a therapist for my SA, she said that it seems to have originated from this event starting with post traumatic stress disorder. I'm just curious if anyone suffers from reoccurring nightmares like me?
